  • Patent number: 11028918
    Abstract: A series for an epicyclic gear train and a planet gear carrier consisting of a carrier base with a plurality of axial receptacles for bearing pins of planet gears and a depression for receiving an axial section of a pinion. The object of the present invention is to specify a planet gear carrier, which shifts the boundaries of the reduction range such that a greater variation of the reduction gear ratios is possible, wherein an economical process is used and reliable production is ensured. Also described is a series of planetary gear trains having the same properties. In the case of series, the number of components is in particular to be minimized by increasingly using common parts that can be combined with other common parts.

  • Publication number: 20190285142
    Abstract: A set for the manufacture of epicyclic gear trains with different gear reductions, including at least one planet carrier, which features at least two first holes arranged on a first circular line, and at least two second holes arranged on a second circular line, and at least one first cover ring for a first gear reduction and at least one second cover ring for a second gear reduction, each of which features at least two bearing holes for receiving bearing pins of planet gears, wherein the first cover ring features at least two connecting pins for connecting to the first holes of the planet carrier, and the second cover ring features at least two connecting pins for connecting to the second holes of the planet carrier. In addition, the invention relates to a gear assembly that is formed from such a set.
